Can HIARCS (Mac) be made to play itself?
That's it really. Is there an option that would allow me to have HIARCS play itself from a given position?

Feature request: tactics/strategy trainer
I'm surprised that HIARCS doesn't include at least a library of puzzles, so that would be a minimum request. But what I'd really like to see is some sort of intelligent trainer that would focus on tactics and strategy that, if diligently followed, would improve the user's game. Thanks for listening,...

Weird game
I just had a very strange 5 minute game with HIARCS: HIARCS 14 WCSC 1400 - Lloyd Deane 0-1 2014.02.12 C44: King's Pawn game 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Ng1 Nf6 4.Nc3 Bc5 5.Bc4 O-O 6.d3 d6 7.Nge2 h6 8.O-O Bg4 9.Be3 Qd7 10.d4 exd4 11.Bxd4 Nxd4 12.h3 Bh5 13.Kh1 Rfe8 14.g4 Nxg4 15.hxg4 Bxg4 16.Bd5 Bf3+ 17.Kh2 R...

Re: Opening book issue?
Hi, I'm not sure how this happened, but for some reason, Hiarcs is playing as though it doesn't have an opening book. I normally play basic 5 minute games with it. With white, it takes 5-10 seconds to decide on a move. With black, it also hesitates, even with conventional moves from white (e.g., e4...

The solution
D'oh. A simple matter of unlocking the HIARCS databases folder using my system password, and then adding myself to the permissions list, and granting myself read & write permissions.
Cheers!

Can't create new database/Mac OS
I'm running the Mac OS version on a brand new MacBook Pro. The documentation suggests creating a new database to store my games in pgn format. However when I try to create one (File-->New) I get the following error: "Cannot create HIARCS Chess Explorer database". Thoughts? suggestions?
